Club Status on Coronavirus Lockdown

Posted on April 15, 2020 by Website Administrator


Message from Club President Tony Felton

The ongoing corona virus crisis has resulted in the cancellation of the Clubs Annual Exhibition in June.
The Winter Exhibition in November is still scheduled to go ahead.
Our members are not idle during the lock down and will be producing representations of ‘FIFE’ for inclusion in our 2021 calendar.
Our Kingsgate gallery will open as usual once the government deems it safe and prudent.

Coronavirus – Members Notice

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Website Administrator
In consideration of the latest Government guidelines relating to Coronavirus and the suggested avoidance of social contact, it is recommended that members DO NOT attend the Townhill Studio with immediate effect, regardless of how they feel or the hygiene measures already in place at the studio.
This latest development has come sooner than we may have anticipated but is considered appropriate in the circumstances.

Coronavirus Advice for Members

Posted on March 11, 2020 by Website Administrator

At the recent Committee meeting we discussed the problems which may occur because of the coronavirus.

This problem is likely to get worse before it gets better. We have to accept that the membership of our Art Club, because we tend to be older, is one of the groups that could be at risk from the virus. We believe that Club members have the responsibility to look after themselves and give due consideration to other members of the Club. Some of you may have underlying health problems that may make you extra vulnerable and we expect that you will make your own decisions about your own risks in attending the Club.

In order to help protect ourselves from infection, which may or may not happen, we should now be much more vigilant with our hygiene procedures. We are aware that health advice may change as the situation develops.

By following the advice given, i.e. regular hand washing, the use of tissues etc., we can help to protect ourselves.

Most importantly:

 If you have any cold or flu like symptoms please wait until you feel better before you come to the Club

Wash your hands on entering the Studio and on leaving and keep washing your hands with either soap and water or an alcohol based cleanser

Other things that we can do which should help:

Bring your own reusable cup or mug and other utensils when you come to the Club and take it/them home to wash

Avoid coughing or sneezing around people, us a hanky or tissue

Give your table a wipe down before you start, as well as when you finish!

At the Club we will have reminder signs up, paper towels and a good supply of soap and anything else we can think of to keep ourselves safe. (Ideas from members welcome!)

We ask anyone who is concerned that they may have encountered the virus to follow the Government advice, and self-isolate in the first instance.

Club Calendar 2021

Posted on March 5, 2020 by Website Administrator

The club intends to go ahead with production of a 2021 Dunfermline Art Club Calendar. It is intended that this will again be produced in-house and printed commercially. The outlay on printing expenses will be reimbursed to the Club from the proceeds of Calendar sales. The theme for the 2021 Calendar is “Fife”. So, if you would like to create a painting in any medium on this theme for possible inclusion in the calendar, please submit your work or a good quality digital photo of it by 17th June latest to Tony Felton at the club.

The painting should be A4 in size (or equivalent proportions ), unframed (to avoid photographic glare/reflection from glass), and in landscape format. A selection process ,which will be by members votes will decide which pictures will feature in the 2021 calendar. Please see Tony if you need further information.

Woodmill High School Fundraising Event -26th March

Posted on March 4, 2020 by Website Administrator
Following the fire at Woodmill High School last summer many of the members asked if there would be a Club response to help the School.
Following discussion with representatives from the school, it was decided that we could help by contributing art works to their exhibition and silent auction sale event on the evening of Thursday 26th March to which all members are cordially invited to attend.
Members are invited to contribute saleable works for inclusion in their exhibition. If therefore, you have any unsold works which you would want to contribute in support of the Schools fund raising event, they would be most gratefully received.
The proceeds of the sale will go to replace Art Department resources lost or damaged in the fire.
Please bring any contributions to either the Gallery in the Kingsgate Centre by 19 March or to the Studio at Townhill by 21 March. Either framed or mounted paintings and prints will be acceptable.
Please wrap your work to protect it, label it with artist and medium info.
The exhibition will be at the School from 17:00 until 18:30 Thursday 26 March.
